If Graham has ANY paperwork about it being sent to him, and correspondence regarding it being for repair/overhaul, then Brendan withholding it - ASSUMING HE HAS BEEN PAID FOR ANY WORK RENDERED - is a criminal act. If Brendan has done nothing to the mount, and no payment has been made, grounds exist to still reclaim the mount, giving Graham's written approval on a statutory declaration (the stat dec will be needed to reclaim the mount in all circumstances by a third party).
Lots of ifs, and we have only heard Graham's side to the story, but seriously, SOMETHING needs to be done ASAP. 8 months with no correspondence is wrong (personal circumstance permitting).
Graham, get a legal stat dec made now regarding reclamation of your property. I would have ALL paperwork/emails/faxes/letters/dockets/cheque stubs etc READY.
Is it worth it for a $1900 mount? Yes it is. Put yourself in Graham's shoes.
